Artist Statement:
It has been my wish to travel
and paint the many people and
cultures of the world. Raised
on a farm in New York until
the age of 11, I have seen
many aspects of nature. I
started out painting
landscapes and still life.
But my true passion, has been
my fascination with people and
the human face. I am struck by
the innocence and candor of
children. My willing subjects
have been my grandchildren,
much to their delight. There
is something about seeing and
recognizing your face in a
painting.
I am drawn to both realistic
and abstract expression. It
has been a goal in my work to
incorporate the two. The many
models I have painted have
provided inspiration to look
for the unique qualities that
each of us possesses. It has
been recent that I have taken
interest in exploring the
mystery in the face. Using a
building of layers to lend
depth and drama has been an
exciting process.
Committed to learning, my work
reflects the wonder I
experience daily. My hope is
that my work reflects a deeper
than skin look into the spirit
of the people I do in
portraiture. ...

Exhibitions for Susan Bell:
|
|
|
Susan Bell's current exhibitions are interpretive works dealing with every day life. The struggle to answer existential questions such as identity, being alone and relationship are the focus in this body of work. I find people fascinating. Though each painting is of someone else if you look deep enough it could be you.
